During a meeting about the upcoming West Bengal elections, Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar allegedly told a Trinamool Congress (TMC) delegation to 'get lost', according to senior party leader Derek O'Brien. The TMC delegation, which included members of Parliament, expressed frustration over the Election Commission's lack of response to nine letters from party chief and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. They also raised concerns about the recent reshuffle of officials, questioning how this would ensure a free and fair election. In response, the Election Commission stated that the meeting was marred by shouting and inappropriate behavior from TMC members. The Commission later issued a statement on social media, assuring that the elections would be conducted without fear or intimidation. TMC leaders, however, have challenged the Commission's account, insisting that the only remarks made were the Chief Election Commissioner's dismissive 'get lost'. The elections in West Bengal are set for April 23 and April 29, with the counting of votes scheduled for May 4.
